We have a white magpie visiting with all the others in the garden. The photos were taken from inside the kitchen and are not very clear. Apparently it’s leucism, which is when the feathers of a bird are white or paler than normal, due to genetics. 
I came across this stitched piece and loved it. I want to try one like it.
I found this poem but it has no author so if anyone knows, I’d love to credit it.

Interesting magpie. And is that an owl scarer in your garden? If so does it work?

It’s not a scarer but a hooter! My brother 3D printed it for us and the idea is that when the wind blows into the slot the owl will hoot! We only put it up yesterday so don’t know yet whether it works. 🙂
